Wine Family: The Classics
Tasting Notes:
A special release celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the planting of this Mourvèdre vineyard. Up front we see notes of raspberry, iodine, red plum, mushroom and some green herbacious aromas. As the wine evolves in the glass we discover herbs of provence and some gamey animal and earthy flavours. There is a very lifted vibrancy to the wine due to the vine age. Fine and very savoury tannins. Give it time, this wine will become a show stopper.
Behind the Name:
Twenty Eight Road acts as the eastern boundary of the Osborn vineyard and the d'Arenberg winery. Most of the grapes for this wine are sourced from a 3.6 acre block of bush vine Mourvèdre that runs parallel with the road. The vineyard was planted in 1918 by the first and second generations of the Osborn family.
